Hello Sumanthsv,

For knowing the space while installing any new package it will prompt us for our answer in form of Y or N as follows(Just an example). By that you could check about space and if you are not ok with it just cancel it by entering N.

Code:

# yum install firefox
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Dependencies Resolved
================================================================================================
Package                    Arch        Version                    Repository            Size        
================================================================================================
Updating:
firefox                        i686        10.0.6-1.el6.centos     updates             20 M
Updating for dependencies:
xulrunner                     i686        10.0.6-1.el6.centos     updates             12 M
Transaction Summary
================================================================================================
Install       0 Package(s)
Upgrade       2 Package(s)
Total download size: 32 M
Is this ok [y/N]: y

For your second query to check specific packages related to kernel you could try following once.

Code:

yum list updates 'kernel*'

Thanks,
R. Singh

yum-builddep

yum-builddep(1) 														   yum-builddep(1)

NAME

       yum-builddep - install missing dependencies for building an RPM package

SYNOPSIS

       yum-builddep package

DESCRIPTION

       yum-builddep  is a program which installs the RPMs needed to build the specified package.  The source RPM for the specified package must be
       available in a Yum repository (which will be automatically enabled, if it is disabled) or it can be a local source RPM file.

EXAMPLES

       Download and install all the RPMs needed to build the kernel RPM:
	      yum-builddep kernel

FILES

       As yum-builddep uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the information, it relies on YUM configuration for its  default  values  like  which
       repositories to use. Consult YUM documentation for details:

       /etc/yum.conf
       /etc/yum/repos.d/
       /var/cache/yum/

SEE ALSO

       yum.conf (5)
       http://yum.baseurl.org/

AUTHORS

       See the Authors file included with this program.

BUGS

       There  are  of  course no bugs, but should you find any, you should first consult the FAQ section on http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq and if
       unsuccessful in finding a resolution contact the mailing list: yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org.  To file a bug  use	http://bugzilla.redhat.com
       for Fedora/RHEL/Centos related bugs and http://yum.baseurl.org/report for all other bugs.
